The French Kiss

Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those NSFW posts…
Just like the French, the French kiss is sensual and VERY personal. As in you have someone else’s tongue in your mouth, personal. So what makes it French exactly?
Thank you Wikipedia for a quick lesson in etymology ….
“A French kiss is so-called because at the beginning of the 20th century, the French had a reputation for more adventurous and passionate sex practices. In France, it is referred to as un baiser amoureux (“a lover’s kiss”) or un baiser avec la langue (“a kiss with the tongue”). The Petit Robert 2014 French dictionary, released on May 30, 2013, added the French verb “galocher”—to kiss with tongues—making it the first time a single word described the practice.”
So there you have it. Now all we have left to talk about is what makes a good kiss…

Un bon french kiss est bon quand il est passionné et fait avec dévotion pour la bouche de l’autre ;)

Fun fact: In Norwegian there has long been a verb/word for kissing with tongues, to “tungekysse”. So although the French may have indeed invented this idle pleasure, it got traction pretty fast up in Scandinavia ;)
it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it…
very interesting! thanks!

Juste parce que je trouvais l’idée intéressante: un réel moment d’intimité est créée entre deux inconnus à qui on demande de s’embrasser:

I’ve always found the french kiss to be somewhat less enjoyable than the not as well named but wonderfully sexy lip-biting kiss… just my two cents.
Les sentiments peut-être… L’occasion faisant le larron!
Great!!! :D

I don’t about galocher being the first time a single word has been used to describe the practice. As pretty as the word sounds, in New Zealand we have been using the word ‘pash’ for ages! (Short for ‘kiss passionately,’ I think). As in: “I had my first pash when I was 12.” Or, “after the movie we pashed.” Classy lingo for us as always. Maybe galocher would be a better term!
GREAT!!!!!!!!!
PASH is so nice, i had never heard of it !
Et bien pour l’anecdote… Le French Kiss est en fait d’origine… Italienne ! C’est Catherine de Médicis qui en aurait eu l’idée et l’a partagé avec son éminent amant, Henri II. Si la cour fut très choquée de cette nouvelle pratique, on peut toutefois la soupçonner de s’y être également essayée et de l’avoir largement diffusée par la suite !
hehe yep, “galocher”, a friend told me about this marvelous word… :)
ahah c’est marrant mais quand on est en France on oublie un peu ce mythe du French Kiss mais quand je suis arrivée en Angleterre je m’en suis rappelée mais bon on est quand même pas le seul pays à rouler des pelles si ?!
J’habite en Allemagne et la-bas, certains s’imaginent que le French Kiss, c’est faire une fellation. Du n’importe quoi !
